What were results of the 1949 Communist Revolution?

The victory of the Communists in the Chinese Civil War made vast changes to the people and institutions of the country. Most of the religions of China were suppressed, and many non-Communists were killed, or sent to re-education and work camps. The economy, weakened by two wars, suffered as the remaining foreign investment disappeared in the face of government takeovers.

The Communists were able to enact the land reforms that they had promised, but even with the relocation of urban workers to the fields, there was no immediate relief from famine conditions in many areas.

Mao's success put his country on its own, as there was little common ground with the Soviet Union, the other major Communist power. But given the vast manpower of China, it exerted political pressure on Asia, leading to the annexation of Tibet and the Korean War.

It was not until years later, during the Great Leap Forward (1958), that China was able to begin the modernization of its industry and become an economic superpower, its populace becoming both a vast labor supply and a coveted consumer market.

Who was the president of china and nationalist leader during World War 2?

China has never had a president elected by the people as do Western countries like France, the United States, Canada, Mexico, and others. It is a Western concept. * In World War 2 China had two main leaders. The Nationalist Chinese were led by Chang Kai-Shek and supported by the Western Allies, namely the US. The Communist, or Red Chinese, were led by Mao Tse Tung and supported by Communist countries, namely the USSR. After the war, Mao took over the entire country except for the island of Formosa (Taiwan) where the Nationalists still rule today with the US on their side. * Chang Kai-Skek may be the closest Chinese equivalent to a president in World War 2, but he was really more like a warlord than a president.

What was life like in the middle ages in Beijing?

depends on your definition of "middle ages" but I guess your most likely referring to Yuan to Ming dynasty era.

In the Mongol Yuan dynasty, the streets would be filled with central Asian / mongol nobles / tibetian monks and maybe even people from further away, while that sight would disappear in the Ming dynasty.

On a general level, commerce thrived, as the majority of officials would be living in the city, and the service sector boomed and as a result also a civilian culture.

In the streets, aside from many peddlers / stands / shop selling various goods, you will also see performers , one of the most popular performance in this period were story tellers called shou shu ren, literally book tellers, they became the bases of most of China's most popular novels such as the Romance of the 3 Kingdoms and the Journey west etc.. (most of them were completely in the late Yuan early Ming era).

Operas also saw a major step forward in this period and became a dominant aspect of entertainment. Chinese opera stories were usually more focused on tragedies and romance, though some were also about brave deeds in the past etc...

How did China react to Western imperialism?

Many Chinese citizens actually blamed the government for the problems that they faced. They reacted by starting riots and opposing the govt. Also they cut trades back.

EDIT:

Yes, many Chinese citizens did blame the government due to its weak power for not being able to protect its people. The Chinese did not appreciate Western culture as they found that their beliefs and religions contradicted with theirs. For example, nobody believed in Christianity until the Westerners brought it to the Oriental East. Missionaries would bribe Chinese people and trick them into coming to church and ultimately converting them. There were rumors about this like the church would gore out children's hearts and eat them. Of course such rumors were not true, this added the hatred and fear that the Chinese people felt towards the Westerners. In their fury, the Chinese indeed did cause riots and rebellions against Westerners and the government. All this chaos led to the notorious Boxer Rebellion, where peasants and many other common Chinese people, who practiced kung-fu and the westerners called it boxing (thus the name boxer), marched to the Forbidden City and storm the palace. The rebellion was disorganized, not professional, and rather weak. They succeeded in storming the palace and held it captive for so many days (need to check that). Eventually, the "Eight-Nation alliance" was called in to help (this included, Japan, Russia, UK, France, US, Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary) and to subside the chaos. The Boxers were under siege for 55 days but were acutally very easy to defeat due to their lack of knowledge in military tactics, weaponry, and basically skill. The boxers were composed of bandits and pirates that only knew kung-fu and belived that kung-fu would protect them from bullets and whatnot.

So all in all, the Chinese reacted rather bitterly towards Western imperialism.
